== Types == {{see also|Types of nationalism}} Historians, sociologists and anthropologists have debated different types of nationalism since at least the 1930s.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Wirth|first=Louis|date=1 May 1936|title=Types of Nationalism|journal=American Journal of Sociology|volume=41|issue=6|pages=723–737|doi=10.1086/217296|s2cid=144187204|issn=0002-9602}}</ref> Generally, the most common way of classifying nationalism has been to describe movements as having either "civic" or "ethnic" nationalist characteristics. This distinction was popularized in the 1950s by [[Hans Kohn]] who described "civic" nationalism as "Western" and more democratic while depicting "ethnic" nationalism as "Eastern" and undemocratic.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Idea of Nationalism: A Study of Its Origins and Background|last=Kohn|first=Hans|publisher=Macmillan|orig-date=1944 |type=reprint|year=2005|isbn=978-1412804769|location=New York}}</ref> Since the 1980s, scholars of nationalism have pointed out numerous flaws in this rigid division and proposed more specific classifications and numerous varieties.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Spencer|first1=Philip|last2=Wollman|first2=Howard|date=1 October 1998|title=Good and bad nationalisms: A critique of dualism|journal=Journal of Political Ideologies|volume=3|issue=3|pages=255–274|doi=10.1080/13569319808420780|s2cid=145053698 |issn=1356-9317}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Yack|first=Bernard|date=1 March 1996|title=The myth of the civic nation|journal=Critical Review|volume=10|issue=2|pages=193–211|doi=10.1080/08913819608443417|issn=0891-3811}}</ref> === Anti-colonial === [[File:Crowd demonstrates against Great Britain in Cairo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|Crowd demonstrates against Britain in [[Cairo]] on 23 October 1951 as tension continued to mount in the dispute between Egypt and Britain over control of the [[Suez Canal]] and [[Anglo-Egyptian Sudan]].]] Anti-colonial nationalism is an intellectual framework that preceded, accompanied and followed the process of [[decolonization]] in the mid-1900s. [[Benedict Anderson]] defined a nation as a socially constructed community that is co-created by individuals who imagine themselves as part of this group.<ref name="Mylonas"/><ref name="Anderson">{{Cite book|last=Anderson|first=Benedict|title=Imagined Communities: Reflections on the origins and spread of nationalism|publisher=Verso Books|location=London|year=1983}}</ref> He points to the [[New World]] as the site that originally conceived of nationalism as a concept, which is defined by its imagination of an ahistorical identity that negates colonialism by definition. This concept of nationalism was exemplified by the transformation of settler colonies into nations, while anti-colonial nationalism is exemplified by movements against colonial powers in the 1900s. Nationalist mobilization in French colonial Africa and British colonial India developed "when colonial regimes refused to cede rights to their increasingly well-educated colonial subjects", who formed indigenous elites and strategically adopted and adapted nationalist tactics.<ref name="Mylonas"/><ref>{{cite book |last1=Lawrence |first1=Adria |title=Imperial rule and the politics of nationalism : anti-colonial protest in the French empire |date=2013 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location=New York, NY, USA |isbn=9781107640757}}</ref><ref name="Tudor">{{cite book |last1=Tudor |first1=Maya Jessica |title=The promise of power : the origins of democracy in India and autocracy in Pakistan |date=2013 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location=Cambridge |isbn=9781139519076}}</ref> New national identities may cross pre-existing ethnic or linguistic divisions.<ref name="Mylonas"/> Anti-colonial independence movements in Africa and Asia in the 1900s were led by individuals who had a set of shared identities and imagined a homeland without external rule. Anderson argues that the racism often experienced as a result of colonial rule and attributed to nationalism is rather due to theories of class.<ref name=":8" /> [[Gellner's theory of nationalism]] argues that nationalism works for combining one culture or ethnicity in one state, which leads to that state's success. For Gellner, nationalism is ethnic, and state political parties should reflect the ethnic majority in the state. This definition of nationalism also contributes to anti-colonial nationalism, if one conceives of anti-colonial movements to be movements consisting of one specific ethnic group against an outside ruling party.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gellner|first=Ernest |title=Nationalism |date=1997|publisher=New York University Press|isbn=0814731139|location=Washington Square, N.Y.|oclc=37353976}}</ref> Edward Said also saw nationalism as ethnic, at least in part, and argued that nationalist narratives often go hand in hand with racism, as communities define themselves in relation to the other.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Said|first=Edward W. |title=Orientalism|date=1978|publisher=Pantheon Books |isbn=0394428145|edition=First |location=New York|oclc=4004102}}</ref> Anti-colonial nationalism is not static and is defined by different forms of nationalism depending on location. In the anti-colonial movement that took place in the Indian subcontinent, [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and his allies in the [[Indian independence movement]] argued for a [[composite nationalism]], not believing that an independent Indian nation should be defined by its religious identity.<ref>{{cite web|last=Grant|first=Moyra|title=Politics Review|url=http://moodle.collyers.ac.uk/file.php/465/Politics_Review_articles/nationalism_expansionistanddesrtuctive.pdf|url-access=subscription|access-date=16 April 2011|publisher=Politics Review}}{{Dead link|date=May 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref name="BennemaBhakiaraj2011">{{cite book |last1=Bennema |first1=Cornelis |last2=Bhakiaraj |first2=Paul Joshua |title=Indian and Christian: Changing Identities in Modern India |date=2011 |publisher=SAIACS Press & Oxford House Research |isbn=978-8187712268 |page=157 |language=en|quote=Both these approaches are shown to be within the framework of 'composite nationalism', where Indian Christians maintained their communal distinctiveness while aspiring for national integration.}}</ref> Despite large-scale [[Opposition to the partition of India|opposition]] by the [[Indian National Congress]] supporters, the insistence of the Muslims under the separatist [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]] resulted in the [[Indian subcontinent]] being [[Partition of India|partitioned]] into two states in 1947 along religious lines into the Muslim-majority [[Dominion of Pakistan]] and the Hindu-majority [[Dominion of India]].<ref name="Chitkara1988">{{cite book |last1=Chitkara |first1=M. G. |title=Converts Do Not Make a Nation |date=1998 |publisher=APH Publishing |isbn=9788170249825 |page=240 |language=en}}</ref> Because of colonialism's creation of state and country lines across ethnic, religious, linguistic and other historical boundaries, anti-colonial nationalism is largely related to land first. After independence, especially in countries with particularly diverse populations with historic enmity, there have been a series of smaller independence movements that are also defined by anti-colonialism. Philosopher and scholar Achille Mbembe argues that post-colonialism is a contradictory term, because colonialism is ever present.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Mbembe|first=Achille |title=On the postcolony|date=2001|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0520917538|location=Berkeley |oclc=49570017}}</ref> Those that participate in this intellectual practice envision a post-colonialism despite its being the defining frame for the world. This is the case with anti-colonialism as well. Anti-colonial nationalism as an intellectual framework persisted into the late 20th century with the [[Revolutions of 1989|resistance movements]] in Soviet satellite states and continues with [[Arab Spring|independence movements]] in the Arab world in the 21st century. === Civic and liberal === {{main|Civic nationalism}} Civic nationalism defines the nation as an association of people who identify themselves as belonging to the nation, who have equal and shared political rights, and allegiance to similar political procedures.<ref name="blackwell">{{cite book| last = Nash | first = Kate| title = The Blackwell companion to political sociology| page = 391| date = 2001| publisher = Wiley-Blackwell| isbn = 978-0631210504}}</ref> According to the principles of civic nationalism, the nation is not based on common ethnic ancestry, but is a political entity whose core identity is not ethnicity. This civic concept of nationalism is exemplified by [[Ernest Renan]] in his lecture in 1882 "[[What is a Nation?]]", where he defined the nation as a "daily referendum" (frequently translated "daily [[plebiscite]]") dependent on the will of its people to continue living together.<ref name="blackwell"/> Civic nationalism is normally associated with [[liberal nationalism]], although the two are distinct, and did not always coincide. On the one hand, until the late 19th and early 20th century adherents to anti-Enlightenment movements such as French [[Legitimism]] or Spanish [[Carlism]] often rejected the liberal, national unitary state, yet identified themselves not with an ethnic nation but with a non-national dynasty and regional feudal privileges. Xenophobic movements in long-established Western European states indeed often took a 'civic national' form, rejecting a given group's ability to assimilate with the nation due to its belonging to a cross-border community (Irish Catholics in Britain, Ashkenazic Jews in France). On the other hand, while subnational separatist movements were commonly associated with ethnic nationalism, this was not always so, and such nationalists as the [[Corsican Republic]], [[United Irishmen]], [[Breton Federalist League]] or [[Catalan Republican Party]] could combine a rejection of the unitary civic-national state with a belief in liberal universalism. Liberal nationalism is commonly considered to be compatible with [[liberal values]] of [[Freedom (political)|freedom]], [[Toleration|tolerance]], [[Egalitarianism|equality]], and [[individual rights]].<ref>Tamir, Yael. 1993.

Civic nationalism is correlated with long-established states whose dynastic rulers had gradually acquired multiple distinct territories, with little change to boundaries, but which contained historical populations of multiple linguistic and/or confessional backgrounds. Since individuals living within different parts of the state territory might have little obvious common ground, civic nationalism developed as a way for rulers to both explain a contemporary reason for such heterogeneity and to provide a common purpose ([[Ernest Renan]]'s classic description in [[What is a Nation?]] (1882) as a voluntary partnership for a common endeavor). Renan argued that factors such as ethnicity, language, religion, economics, geography, ruling dynasty and historic military deeds were important but not sufficient.

Whereas nationalism in and of itself does not imply a belief in the superiority of one ethnicity or country over others, some nationalists support [[Ethnocentrism|ethnocentric]] supremacy or protectionism. The humiliation of being a second-class citizen led regional minorities in multiethnic states, such as Great Britain, Spain, France, Germany, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, to define nationalism in terms of loyalty to their minority culture, especially language and religion. Forced assimilation was anathema.<ref>Timothy Baycroft, ''Nationalism in Europe 1789–1945'' (1998) p. 56.</ref> For the politically dominant cultural group, assimilation was necessary to minimize disloyalty and treason and therefore became a major component of nationalism. A second factor for the politically dominant group was competition with neighboring states—nationalism involved a rivalry, especially in terms of military prowess and economic strength.<ref>Baycroft, ''Nationalism in Europe 1789–1945'' (1998) p. 58.</ref> === Economic === {{see also|Economic nationalism}} Economic nationalism, or economic patriotism, is an ideology that favors [[Economic interventionism|state interventionism]] in the economy, with policies that emphasize domestic control of the economy, labor, and [[capital formation]], even if this requires the imposition of [[tariff]]s and other restrictions on the movement of labor, goods and capital.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gilpin|first=Robert|url=https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691022628/the-political-economy-of-international-relations|title=The Political Economy of International Relations|publisher=Princeton University Press|year=1987|isbn=978-0691022628|pages=31–34|language=en|access-date=5 June 2021|archive-date=13 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210613233003/https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691022628/the-political-economy-of-international-relations|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Helleiner |first=Eric |date=2021 |title=The Diversity of Economic Nationalism |journal=New Political Economy |volume=26 |issue=2 |pages=229–238 |doi=10.1080/13563467.2020.1841137 |issn=1356-3467 |doi-access=free}}</ref> === Gendered and muscular === {{main|Nationalism and gender}} Feminist critique interprets nationalism as a mechanism through which sexual control and repression are justified and legitimized, often by a dominant masculine power.

[[Italian Fascism|Fascist Italy]] and [[Nazi Germany]], according to Alter and Brown, were examples of integral nationalism. Some of the qualities that characterize integral nationalism are [[anti-individualism]], [[statism]], radical extremism, and aggressive-expansionist militarism. The term Integral Nationalism often overlaps with fascism, although many natural points of disagreement exist. Integral nationalism arises in countries where a strong military ethos has become entrenched through the independence struggle, when, once independence is achieved, it is believed that a strong military is required to ensure the security and viability of the new state. Also, the success of such a liberation struggle results in feelings of national superiority that may lead to extreme nationalism. Pan-nationalism is unique in that it covers a large area span. Pan-nationalism focuses more on "clusters" of ethnic groups. [[Pan-Slavism]] is one example of Pan-nationalism. The goal is to unite all [[Slavic people]] into one country.

Many nationalist movements are dedicated to [[national liberation]], in the view that their nations are being persecuted by other nations and thus need to exercise [[self-determination]] by liberating themselves from the accused persecutors. [[Anti-Revisionism|Anti-revisionist]] [[Marxism–Leninism]] is closely tied with this ideology, and practical examples include Stalin's early work ''[[Marxism and the National Question]]'' and his [[socialism in one country]] edict, which declares that nationalism can be used in an internationalist context, fighting for national liberation without racial or religious divisions. Other examples of left-wing nationalism include [[Fidel Castro]]'s [[26th of July Movement]] that launched the [[Cuban Revolution]] in 1959, [[Cornwall]]'s [[Mebyon Kernow]], Ireland's [[Sinn Féin]], [[Wales]]'s [[Plaid Cymru]], [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]]'s [[Galician Nationalist Bloc]], the [[Awami League]] in Bangladesh, the [[African National Congress]] in South Africa and numerous movements in Eastern Europe.<ref>Robert Zuzowski, "The Left and Nationalism in Eastern Europe" ''East European Quarterly'', 41#4 (2008) [https://www.questia.com/library/journal/1G1-173464008/the-left-and-nationalism-in-eastern-europe online] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161123133019/https://www.questia.com/library/journal/1G1-173464008/the-left-and-nationalism-in-eastern-europe |date=23 November 2016 }}</ref><ref>Alexander J.

In countries where strong nativist nationalism exists, people who were not born in the country are seen as lesser nationals than those who were born there and are called ''[[immigrants]]'' even if they became naturalized. It is cultural as people will never see a foreign-born person as one of them and is legal as such people are banned for life from holding certain jobs, especially government jobs. In scholarly studies, ''nativism'' is a standard technical term, although those who hold this political view do not typically accept the label. {{nowrap|"[N]ativists}} . . . do not consider themselves nativists. For them it is a negative term and they rather consider themselves as '[[Patriotism|Patriots]]'."<ref>{{cite book|first= Oezguer|last= Dindar|title= American Nativism and Its Representation in the Film "L.

Racial nationalism seeks to preserve a given race through policies such as [[Anti-miscegenation laws|banning race mixing]] and the [[immigration]] of other races. Its ideas tend to be in direct conflict with those of [[anti-racism]] and [[multiculturalism]].<ref name="taub">{{cite news |last=Taub |first=Amanda |date=21 November 2016 |title=White Nationalism, Explained |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/22/world/americas/white-nationalism-explained.html |work=The New York Times |access-date=14 June 2023 |archive-date=14 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230614003947/https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/22/world/americas/white-nationalism-explained.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="silverstein">{{cite news |last=Silverstein |first=Jason |title=Billboard from 'white genocide' segregation group goes up along highway near Birmingham, Ala |url=https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/billboard-white-genocide-group-ala-article-1.2074126 |work=[[New York Daily News]] |date=January 11, 2015 |access-date=14 June 2023 |archive-date=22 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190322082831/https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/billboard-white-genocide-group-ala-article-1.2074126 |url-status=live }}</ref> Specific examples are [[black nationalism]] and [[white nationalism]]. === Religious === {{main|Religious nationalism}} Religious nationalism is the relationship of nationalism to a particular religious belief, dogma, or affiliation where a shared religion can be seen to contribute to a sense of national unity, a common bond among the citizens of the nation. [[Saudi Arabia]]n, [[Iran]]ian, [[Egypt]]ian, [[Iraq]]i, [[America]]n and the [[Pakistani nationalism|Pakistani-Islamic nationalism]] ([[Two-Nation Theory]]) are some examples. === Territorial === {{main|Territorial nationalism}} [[File:Brazil - 1969.svg|thumb|Nationalist slogan "''Brazil, love it or leave it''", used during the [[Brazilian military government|Brazilian military dictatorship]]]] Some nationalists exclude certain groups. Some nationalists, defining the national community in ethnic, linguistic, cultural, historic, or religious terms (or a combination of these), may then seek to deem certain minorities as not truly being a part of the 'national community' as they define it. Sometimes a mythic homeland is more important for the national identity than the actual territory occupied by the nation.<ref>Smith, Anthony D. 1986.
